Thanks for the report. I've had this problem before with launchpad, and
it's strange because it doesn't always happen. Anyway, I've updated my
build release script and it shouldn't happen again. New packages are up
for lucid and karmic.

That's interesting. It seems that the install line got lost in some
update. It's there in the new packages. Although, I have to admit, I
tend to discourage people using dot-desktop files (or really display
managers at all). I only ever installed it because the official package
does.
